I have a background in physics, with a PhD (2015) focused on terahertz techniques at a free electron laser. In total, I spent around 15 years in science, combining hands-on experimental work with leading a small research group. This experience shaped my ability to navigate complex research environments and to connect fundamental science with technological opportunities.
Today, I work at the interface of academia and industry, focusing on knowledge transfer and research valorisation within high-tech domains. My work centres on translating scientific insights into real-world applications, building collaborations, and aligning researchers, companies, and funding opportunities. I am particularly engaged with research in materials science, chemistry, and physics, with strong relevance to the future of semiconductor technologies.
Great ideas rarely succeed on their own—they need the right timing, the right people, and often a translation between worlds that do not naturally speak the same language. I contribute by connecting those worlds and helping ideas move towards impact.
I am always open to connecting with scientists and partners who are exploring new materials, processes, or applications, and who are interested in collaboration or in bringing their research closer to practice.
